For more than fifty years the Office of the Chaplain at SMU has provided guidance, nurture and support for students, families, faculty and staff on their journeys of faith and living in this collegiate setting.

Our mission as a chaplaincy includes the support and nurture of faith development and ethical growth of all members of the SMU Community through reflection, study, both corporate and private worship, critical discourse, prayerful social action and community service.

We invite you to discover the resources of the Office of the Chaplain and Religious Life at SMU!
